Is this your crash??? If so, how the hell did you survive?
I'm guessing the fact it's LHD is pretty much the only factor in the drivers favour, that and divine intervention

I'm in surprisingly good shape, given that I hit the tarmac at 30 mph!!

Back in my day we used to call that “falling off your bicycle”.

Not sure if there are any Roadkill fans on here, but that Mustang reminds me of their "C Body Roadrunner" project

Give Freiburger and Finnegan a weekend, some steel and a welder, and they'd have that Mustang driving wink

Back in the day I doubt many people did 30mph+ on a bike. Carbon bikes are seriously quick

That is a great shame as it is a very rare short-wheelbase model.

Give over. I got >45mph out of my mountain bike on full knoblies about 25 years ago.

Admittedly down a fking great hill and I was *much* fitter then but someone on a normal "racer" would have breezed past me.

Exactly this...
That's but a minor scrape.
I've hit 55 on my road bike

I did 48 MPH on my road bike, through the flying 1/8th down Conrod straight Bathurst in 1952 aged 12.

I did 184 mph in 1968 in a Brabham Repco F1 down the same straight. Much better idea, although I'm not sure it was any safer.

You don't need a carbon bike, just a gentle hill will do....

I got a telling off back when the world was young, for overtaking a panda car going down West Bromwich High street on my 5-speed racer eek

"Do you know how fast you were going, sunshine?"

"No, officer, my bike doesn't have a speedo!"

"Mutter, mutter, don't do it again..."

A group of us hit 40+ on downhill bikes with mud tyres, while going down a massive hill near Stainburn forest. It was terrifying hehe

My dad and I were in the Mondeo. Articulated lorry wasn't paying attention, ended up on our side of the road (suspected mobile phone use, but was only ever done for driving without due care).

Skimmed a skip lorry and then hit us head on. Closing speed of about 60mph between us. The only major injury was a broken foot for the lorry driver. My dad and I got bad whiplash, cuts and so forth but we're very lucky.

Only letting me upload one photo, but will upload another in a reply to this.

I managed to this to my genuine RS2000 the day after buying it. Yes I cried at the time and come close to tears looking at pics now, 25 years later.

I was also the PASSENGER in this. The driver lost control during an overtake and we ended up sitting sideways in the wrong lane half way down a hill. A Rover came round the corner and landed in my door. I count myself very lucky to only have had a few aches and concussion.

This was my son's first big one. He was driving on the grass and got distracted by me doing some strimming the other side of the fence. Hit the fence post doing at least 5 mph and headbutted the windscreen frame. I decided not to call an ambulance and just kissed it better instead. Didn't tell the insurance company either, fortunately it wasn't a write off...phew!



But he always has driven like a bit of a loony...toddlers eh?
